If there is a ray of hope, it is that the forecast track has been moved ever so slightly, from 30.0N, 89.9W to 30.0 89.6W or so....this is only about 20 mile shift, but if the trend continues, the Mississippi gulf coast will take the brunt of it rather than NO. Still to soon to say, for sure, 'cause we're talking about very small alterations in the track....ironically, that's exactly what happened with Camille (which ultimately made landfall at Long Beach, MS after heading directly at NO. However, this storm is much LARGER, if perhaps a bit less intense, so it may not help all that much.... The perfect storm: ssd.noaa.gov
